Sardine Salad Sandwich

Rich, delicious sardines not only contain more of the good stuff (omega-3s, calcium) and less of the bad (mercury) but are a sustainable choice. Mashed with canola mayonnaise in a sardine salad, they are the foundation of a formidable tower of nutrients, including sliced avocado, hard-boiled egg, tomato, and arugula. For an alternate take on the sardine sandwich, pair the fish with ripe tomato and savoy cabbage or Swiss chard.

Don't forget the vegetarians on your next picnic. This sandwich piles high crunchy cucumber, carrot, and radish and pairs them with creamy goat cheese, avocado, and sprouts for a sandwich that will please veggie-eaters from the West coast to the East coast.

Lighten up! For the salad, use only white-meat turkey and reduce the bacon and blue cheese by half. For the dressing, replace the mayo with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Total savings? 74 calories and 8 grams of fat per sandwich.
